The Royal Academy of Art participates in the 5th Edition of Offprint Paris, which will host 130 independent and experimental publishers in Photography, Contemporary Art and Graphic Design from 16 different countries.

During the two-days fair, the Royal Academy of Art The Hague will present a fine selection of (unique) photo books & publications from the Photography, Fine Arts, Graphic Design and TypeMedia departments.

This show reveals the trans-disciplinary and experimental wavelengths in the discourse of the youngest generation artists and designers. The work of the selected graduates represents an attitude that transcends the fixed frames of interior and furniture design, photography and graphic design.

Students of the departments of Graphic Design, Fine Arts and Photography were invited by the Council for Culture to create a design for one of their meeting rooms, the so-called ‘Blue Room’. Part of the challenge was to come up with a design that takes into account the striking indigo-blue colour of the office’s walls.

On the occasion of the exhibition ‘Reprint Karel Martens’ (who has received the Gerrit Noordzij prize in 2012), this seminar takes place on Saturday 7 March from 13:00 to 18:00 in the Auditorium of the Royal Academy of Art.

On this day we will look at the impact of digital culture on ‘making’ and will investigate its significance for art education.
With lectures by:
Robert Hewison, Bas van Beek, Theo Ploeg and David Jablonowski

The symposium Unfixing Images focuses on visual documents that develop within processes of political resistance. As bi-products of larger socio-political struggles these documents can be understood both as visual traces of “lived politics” and as tools that can diversify hegemonial historiographies. In this context images are understood as “variational characters”: their “meaning” is inherently unstable as it is intimately linked to the temporality of the processes that bring them forth and continually influence how they are seen.

BACK STAGE ON STAGE, the presentation of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, (KABK) was a great success attracting 35.000 visitors at the renowned design fair Salone Internazionale del Mobile, Milan.
This year's edition of the Salone was held from 8 to 13 April 2014. With BACK STAGE ON STAGE The Royal Academy of Art literally put the creative process in the limelight: the presentation consisted of a continuous programme of performances and happenings, whereby drafts and products were created, shared, shown and dismantled on stage!
The trans-disciplinary programme gave room to all artistic disciplines in design and fine art.
Please see attachment for more information on the presentation in Milan.
